They say not so on their home page but I'm not using as I need Firefox type extensions.

Brave never sees the sites you browse. If you use a search engine such as Google, then anything you type in the search bar will be recorded by Google — but not by Brave servers.

Pale Moon is one alternative as is switching to Firefox ESR until June of next year.

Is there any possibility that Brave is cross-decking info to Google?

I don’t anything about Brave. Just asking a question.

I do not use a Google account with Brave. Brave may be passing a sync request through another app—is this a mobile device?

Comodo Ice Dragon is using FF 52 (and has built in security):
Comodo Ice Dragon

I've been using it since the FF meltdown (used Pale Moon briefly, but it was lacking.. and the guy that runs it is a bit kooky).
